My One and Only

Uneasy Beginnings

{hey! I decided to make an OC x ryou x bakura fanfic so here it is! this will be in Ryou's point of view most of the story so enjoy!}

I do not understand this man. I wish he wouldn't be so judgmental all the time. I have grown used to his attitude but this time, my level of irritableness is beyond it's highest peak. Allow me to explain.

It all started while I was coming home from a rough day at school. Since I only live a little ways away, and I lack an efficient source of transportation, I walk home and basically everywhere. I couldn't wait to just get home and take a nap. It was the last day before winter break, and the weather was harsh. The excitement of having a long break took my mind off of the cold nipping at my pale face.

I was a block away from reaching my apartment when a girl slipped and fell in front of me.

"Shit," She said looking at her hands.

"Hey are you okay there?" I ran over to her cautiously so I wouldn't slip as well.

"What? Oh. yes I'm quite alright thank you," she got up and walked away quickly not giving me any eye contact.

"Hey wait!" I shouted and ran after her not caring about the ice anymore.

"Lovely weather isn't it? I'm doing great please enjoy your day...!" she walked faster.

"HEY BUGGERING SLOW DOWN!" I shouted as loud as I could. Something about her seemed..interesting I couldn't help myself. Trust me I was probably as scared and confused as she was.

She stopped and slowly turned around.

We both just stared at each other for a moment.

A long moment.

"Did you need something?" her voice was stern.

"Er....n-no," I stuttered, "I-Im just a little concerned after that fall you just took."

"Fall..fall? what fall?" she rubbed her hands together, looked at them, and frowned. How is she not wearing any gloves?

"Um...the one that just happened a second ago.." I replied confused.

"Oh. Yeah. That fall" she looked down.

I walked a little closer to her. I could see her bangs peeking out of her black hat that matched her midnight black hair.

"Are you alright?" I asked trying to get a look at her face. "Do you need some gloves? I always keep an extra pair.."I searched in my jacket pockets and pulled out a pair of gloves.

She looked up and spoke, "oh, that would be really great. are you sure?"

I giggled a little, "of course I am. here take them."

"YADONUSHI" a stern voice shouted from a distance.

Bakura pulled me from reality and into his soul room. Great. Now this girl is going to think I'm dead.

"What is it Bakura?" I raised my brow. This man always has something to say whenever I try to be nice.

"What are you doing with my gloves."

"...giving them to someone who needs them desperately..? Is there an issue with that?" I was very annoyed this time.

He growled. "Well, either you buy me a new pair exactly like those or you put them back into your pocket."

Is he serious?

"Fine Bakura, I will buy you some more gloves. Can I go back now before she thinks I'm frozen?"

"Fine, you're dismissed yadonu-"

"Ryou, Bakura. It's Ryou"

Bakura released me from his soul room and I came back to emerald eyes.

"...uh...excuse me?" She was poking my shoulder. I began to blush.

"Oh I'm sorry, here take the gloves. I just spaced out for a moment." I handed her the black gloves with a smile.

She laughed lightly, "um, thanks. Do you need me to walk you home? You seem a bit..uh..out of it." She smiled at me.

I could feel the crimson creeping on my face.

"Uh..um..that is if you feel the, uh, need to.."

"Well I have no where to be so why not? You lead the way because I have no idea where it is you're headed." She laughed nervously at her own weird joke.

I walked a little in front of her and she crept to the side. I have to say, as rough as school was that day it was getting a bit better.

We didn't talk much, so I tried to start up a conversation.

"So, what was the sudden rush?"

"What rush?" she asked confused.

"Oh, uh the running across the street and then the walking quickly away from me," I couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Oh, yeah haha, about that...well I did it semi on purpose and semi by accident."

I was a bit confused by her answer. "And so...go on explain," I insisted.

"Well..um...you see...um..this may seem really weird but...uh I was running to my friends house...? Yeah I was doing that after..uh...getting this guys number that she likes, so I was running, for my excitement for her was reall-okay wait."

"What is it?" She started to look kind of sad.

"Well, I did have a number on my hand but it wasn't for a friend. It was my new address for my new apartment and the real estate lady called me after school and said if I didn't get there by 2:45 that the apartment would go to someone else. So when I slipped, the address that I stupidly wrote on my hand smeared and I thought that I would make it but now I can't see the address so I decided to walk with you since I don't exactly have a home now..haha.."

That was a story.

"I'm so sorry. That's an unfortunate series of events, what do you mean you don't exactly have a home..?" I asked. I probably sounded way too worried than I would have wanted to.

"Well, my mom kicked me out of the house after she lost her job last week. So I've been living with my friend for a while and I was looking into this apartment for so long and I saved up and..," her voice got faster, "I really needed that apartment because my friend's parents don't like me and now I'm alone."

I noticed a tear in her eye. "And now this." She wiped the tear with her finger. She still wasn't wearing the gloves.

"Don't worry, um..did I catch your name?"

"Cecile. My name is Cecile."

"Ah, well don't worry Cecile, you're not alone. I'm here for you now. And I really like your name. It's very pretty." I smiled.

"Thanks um.."

"Ryou."

"Thanks Ryou."

I brought her close to me and gave her a hug. As we approached my apartment I invited her inside.
